Jerry's Core Beliefs
Beliefs are very important and are shaped throughout one's lifetime. So, when people of like values and mindset collaborate great ideas germinate and grow. This does not mean people need to be robotically aligned in a homogeneous manner, quite the contrary. In fact, diverse points of view always result in a greater solution to any challenge.
